he has left such a mark on hawaii. hawaii is the home of the pacific man. there is no question in my mind that the pivot to asia-pacific is possible because of his vision, a vision shared by the president. a vision which is made possible by senator's strong commitments to entities and his placement of the pacific tsunami warning center in hawaii so the whole pacific benefitless. hawaii's military importance goes without saying. as the investments made to pearl harbor, the pacific missile range facility, paycom, scofield, the marine corps, just to name a few. all part of his plan on how to stabilize hawaii's economy and this nation and the world. senator recognizes a future for hawaii is getting off of our dependence on fossil fuels. a conversation by the way that we had at the last delegation meeting which he chaired and he made it very clear that this was his priority. he was, as you can expect, already ahead of everyone because he had been funding research and development in this area for years. he also knew that education was critical to our success and

find ourselves in, but last night president obama called myself and the speaker and maybe others from hawaii and asked if there was something weekend do to avoid the fiscal cliff. i say i'm a little frustrated because we've been asking the president and the democrats to work with us on a bipartisan agreement for months, literally for months. a plan that would simplify the tax code, shrink the deficit, protect the taxpayers, and grow the economy. but democrats consistently rejected those offers. the president chose instead to spend his time on the campaign trail. this was even after he got reelected. and congressional democrats sat on their hands. now republicans have bent over backwards. we stepped way, way out of our comfort zone. we wanted an agreement, but we had no takers. the phone never rang. and so now here we are five days from the new year, and we might finally start talking. democrats have had an entire year to put forward a balanced bipartisan proposal, and if they had something that fit the bill, i'm sure the majority leader would have been able to deliver the votes the president

the president is going off to hawaii shortly. it is not the time to go through complex policy issues because you will give them the short shrift. they should accept them. when the cr expires, that gives them the more hard deadlines when issues need to be addressed. these are strongly agreed to by partisan issues, raise the retirement age for medicare. take care of reducing subsidies and medicare by testing premiums, at a premium for part a. then there is further means testing that could be done in social security through a progressive indexing and things like that. those are the things that have been talked about around town. you could do a bill very quickly. does it need to be done in december? not if you extend all current policy. the important thing is that this makes a substantial down payment for long-term sustainability. to focus on 10 years, while important, it gets to those cash flow issues, it does not necessarily deliver the kinds of reforms that will be reducing our debt to gdp ratio and stabilizing it. i to not know w
